Ghanaian rap icon Sarkodie has stirred public debate by openly supporting former President John Dramani Mahama’s call for an economic revolution in Africa.
The musician, known for his sharp critiques of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), took to social media to express solidarity with Mahama’s anti-colonialism message.
This endorsement followed Mahama’s compelling speech, which emphasized Africa’s need to reclaim control of its natural resources.
He pointed out that the continent now possesses the human capital, technology, and access to global financing necessary to manage its assets without depending on foreign powers.
“We’ve developed the core of human resources… we have the technology… the capital is available,” Mahama stated, urging African nations to transition from exploitation to self-sufficiency.
Fans React to Sarkodie’s Unexpected Endorsement
Sarkodie’s support came as a surprise, especially considering his past criticisms of the NDC. Notably, he highlighted issues such as “Dumsor” (persistent power outages) during Mahama’s administration in his previous works.
Nevertheless, his recent tweet appeared to shift the conversation beyond partisan lines, emphasizing national interest and economic empowerment.
This public stance has triggered mixed reactions across social media.
Some followers praised Sarkodie for demonstrating objectivity and maturity, while others question whether his political views have changed.
Regardless of the varied opinions, Sarkodie’s endorsement has reignited discourse around Africa’s economic autonomy and the role of influential public figures in shaping national conversations.
